Divided into five chapters, it begins by reviewing the origin of the contract in ancient China, and analyzing its name, primary form, historical premise and functions. The second chapter discusses free will and lawfulness in the establishment of a contract, offering insights into the impact of contracts on social justice. In turn, the third chapter addresses the inner core of the contract: validity and liability. This allows readers at all levels to identify the similarities and differences between contracts from different eras and different parts of the world, which will also benefit those pursuing comparative research in related fields. Chapters four and five offer a philosophical exploration of contract history in ancient China, and analyze key aspects including human nature and ethical justice. 606 $aPrivate international law 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R11011 606 $aHistory of China$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010 607 $aChina$xHistory 615 0$aPrivate international law. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 615 24$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 615 24$aHistory of China. 676 $a346.5102 700 $aLiu$b Yunsheng$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0943601 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411953503321 996 $aThe History of the Contractual Thoughts in Ancient China$92129753 997 $aUNINA
